Cursive

Cursive refers to a style of writing where the letters are connected in a flowing, continuous manner. This technique allows for faster writing, as the pen or pencil moves smoothly across the paper without lifting frequently. Cursive handwriting emphasizes elegant, often stylized letter forms, which can vary culturally and historically. It was traditionally taught in schools to promote efficiency and aesthetic presentation. While less common today due to digital communication, cursive remains valued for its artistic quality and personal touch in handwritten correspondence.
